Céline Vintage Celine Grained Leather Bifold Wallet Late 1970s Navy

Gold-tone corner protectors break up the line of deep navy grained leather, their
crisp edges framing a classic bifold silhouette. The Céline crest is embossed at
the lower front, its serifed logo and shield motif rendered with the restraint
characteristic of late-1970s French leather goods. Inside, navy fabric lines two main
compartments and a single slip pocket—space for notes, papers, or cards, with a
construction that feels supple and compact in the hand.
This design dates to the Céline Vipiana era, circa the late 1970s–1980s, identified by
the shield blazon logo and the substantial gold-tone metal hardware—details closely
tied to Vipiana’s vision for the house as Paris’s answer to equestrian luxury,
precision-crafted with a discreet sense of status. The absence of an interior serial
or model label is typical for Céline small leather goods from this period.
Grained leather retains its color with a low sheen, showing light edge scratches and
minor surface marks but no deep wear. The gold-tone hardware remains bright. No
accessories are included; all compartments are clean and intact.
